re: [Update #2] Squeal of Fortune - When you thought it couldn't get much worse...

the way I see it, this squeal thing isn't going anywhere so this update is actually a positive step. just like the skill pendants, seems like they're getting rid of instantaneous exp reward lamps and replacing them with items that only reward you when you actually skill. still think the whole thing is completely pointless, and overall probably negative for the game, but recent updates to it seem to be sorting out the major unfairnesses

in better news, lumberjack, golden mining suit, etc. doubling to a +5% boost will probably make it slightly more worth the time taken to get em now

And they already addressed the buying xp with cash moaning in the live Q/A. Continuing to bitch about something doesn't change anything, it just gets annoying.

Stop arguing about concepts you clearly can't grasp.

I do agree it's better that they're starting to move towards items that boost exp instead of instant exp, but I would rather all the exp just got removed.

Stop whining about things that won't be removed. Jesus, it's been what, over half a year since Squeal of Fortune was released? They've made it very clear (but then again, your low reading comprehension is to be expected) that it won't be going anywhere. Instead of responding to each Squeal of Fortune update with bitching and moaning, why not ignore it? Holy shit. There's an idea.

I think I speak for everyone in the forum when I say that people are tired of seeing you bitch and moan like a little toddler.

srsly need to stop hatinEdit: DC Sniper the sets become cosmetic next month unless you've received some of those 5 day recharge things. So far I've gotten the chef and blacksmiths boots, but I discarded both as I don't think I'll be training those skills any time soon. I've gotten a shit load of recharges though, yesterday I got 3 lol

Maybe you should try reading what he said? He's not moaning about the entirety of squeal of fortune in that post, just that he wants the exp items, (whether its exp lamps, or items that boost xp when worn) removed from the squeal of fortune.

re: [Update #2] Squeal of Fortune - When you thought it couldn't get much worse...

Coercion you have to also remember that bonus experience weekend was supposed to be in September. Although they're trying to get us bonus experience to compensate for it, I really don't think it's been done in a good manner. That was nothing compared to a whole weekends worth of bonus experience, and to make it worse its on the squeal. I'm sure there's people like me who got a bunch of pendants which are useless seeing as the only skill I train is dungeoneering, or there's people that got either a shit load of pendants or none at all. Keep some bonus experience in the game, but not through the squeal.

Also, the 1m experience we gained over the past 2 months is complete bs if that's supposed to compensate. Offering 1m experience for literally no work at all is just garbage...

Can't see the image, eh.

Of course they do (although I did not know when), all items thus far have only given minor bonuses for limited periods of time. I haven't gotten any yet, but that's probably because I don't partake in the challenges as much.

Maybe you should realize I did? They're not going to remove xp from the Squeal of Fortune.

Oh yes, we are all very impressed with your mastery of the English language. You know how to use 'bitch' more often than anyone I've ever met, such literacy.

Why don't you look at the title of this thread and either say something that actually supports your side of the argument (that actually makes sense), instead of posting random insults that obviously stem from some psychological issues, or gtfo.

Yeah I loved the bonus exp weekends. The difference there is that it was available to everyone. They might as well just start charging people $ to get bonus exp weekends.

re: [Update #2] Squeal of Fortune - When you thought it couldn't get much worse...

They said they wanted to get rid of the bonus experience weekends because of how much it *bleep*ed up the economy, but I think that with the bonus experience weekend and the bot nuke at the same time it'd be far less predictable. And after all, part of the game is taking advantage of prices.

They said that they'd be bringing the bank boosters to the loyalty shop, which is a good turn around, especially considering I never have enough bank space lol

Good on ya, you can ignore every part of my argument. +1Why don't you look at the title of this thread and either say something that actually supports your side of the argument (that actually makes sense), instead of posting random insults that obviously stem from some psychological issues, or gtfo.Ooh, ad hominem! You're really going somewhere with this! Way to ignore my post and "troll me" at the same time. You're obviously a genius.

I don't remember bonus experience weekends being available to f2p.

My argument is that bitching and moaning (which half this thread is) does nothing productive. The experience is not going anywhere, Solomon's is not, Squeal of Fortune is not, and they've already made it clear that both of these features are run by a small 4-man team and that it didn't affect content released the past 6 months as they followed the same standard format they've always done.

Furthermore, they've made it obvious that these two outlets are the last of any micropayment systems.

Actually, no, I'm sorry. The investor company's economy. Jagex doesn't call the shots anymore. RS is run by corporate idiots who can't run a game to appease the players. It actually saddens me to see the way the game is headed, and it's worrisome that the game might be on its last legs thanks to this sad excuse of an "update".

Like this idiot, who really thinks IVP calls the shots. Half this thread is literally an outlet for people to rage.

I like how they say it's because of player feedback that they're making better rewards LOL

Almost every single person on the forums wants them to straight up REMOVE SoF and they say we all want them to add more to it and improve it lol?

If anybody gave a *bleep*ing shit about the rewards, then there would be 10 times as many people complaining about the even WORSE rewards from random events.

Jagex is (still) a bunch of greedy liar *bleep*s.

We've all seen a couple of Coercion's posts, but this looks like a very disgruntled poster venting. It's pretty illogical to assume you speak for everyone when you say that "everyone" wants SoF removed. The "players" are so childish that they resorted to disliking everything on Jamflex's Youtube page.

This is just two posts from the thread (which is surprisingly still open). If people are seriously still going to cry over these two features, they obviously didn't watch the livestream where they explained what they did and why they did it.

re: [Update #2] Squeal of Fortune - When you thought it couldn't get much worse...

Free to play is a demo of the game no matter what Jagex makes it out to be. I think what Alex meant was that paying a monthly membership fee is an acceptable part of the game and that the 2.7x multiplier is part of what you pay for that month. We were supposed to get bonus experience this month, sure we got some pendants, outfits, and 1m experience. I thought they'd make the bonus experience better than that though, for me, 1m experience is only a few hours worth of dungeoneering for me. Was really hoping for something up to par with previous bonus experience weekends.

I'm content with no bonus xp event simply because it'd mean 2-3 days of nonstop, boring as *bleep* grind. Besides mucking up the economy, not everyone that was a member could play those 3 select days because surprisingly we all have lives ().

1m might not mean to higher leveled players, but it still was roughly 80-86 summoning for me, along with the Choose Your Fate items, I find it acceptable. Pendants and outifts are also nice.

re: [Update #2] Squeal of Fortune - When you thought it couldn't get much worse...

It's not grinding if you enjoy what you're doing. I've met a lot of my good friends through dungeoneering. Even in 114, it's usually the same keyers every day and you get to know each other. If you're good, they'll add you and ask to come survival prod on their floors. Today a guy I've done countless floors with got me a blood necklace, something I've been looking for for a while.

Are you saying its fair of jagex to ignore high leveled players? I'm 2485 total which is just 11 levels from max yet I'm still rank 5000 or so. I'd consider a high leveled player 2300 total or higher, and there's a lot of players at that or above.

What I liked about bonus experience was that whether you trained buyables or slow skills it was still the same. People doing herblore would do it at 2.7x cheaper and people like me doing dungeoneering save 2.7x the amount of time.

Pendants were a good thing for the game, the only problems I had with were that:-only receivable on the squeal of fortune-no choice as to what skill they could train

I've gotten 1 dungeoneering pendant, which doesn't even last a floor. There's also been a strength and constitution pendant that I've used up. All my other pendants are in the bank, which most likely will never be used (especially now that I have my blood necklace). Dungeoneering is the only skill I train currently. If the pendants were something like the mad may necklace, I wouldn't have a problem at all.

Not saying bonus experience weekends were perfect, but they're definitely better than what we have now. If you think RS is a grind, don't force yourself to play it. Trust me I know it can be a grind, I had post max syndrome for the whole summer lol
